Boyfriend's Panic Attacks - Panic Disorders Message Board

My boyfriend has panic attacks. He is on meds for them. What can I do to make his life easier when he calls me from home while I'm at work with a panic attack? What will help? I hate feeling helpless but when he's far away from me I don't know what to do! Help please!

try talking to him .. calmly .. and start changing the topic if possible..

i often call my friend when i have a panic attack.. and i feel a lot better after talkin to her for awhile.. when my mind starts thinking bout something other then the attack.. it becomes a lot easier to calm down..

i hope that helps.. good luck..

i agree.... most of mine happen in the drs office& he is really great about it. he just talks to me calmly& tells me to take deep breaths& it really helps.
